Answer:

The acceleration of the system is 1.401 m/s² and

The tension in the cord is 100.902 N

Explanation:

Let the 9 kg mass be m

Let the 12 kg mass be M

By Newton's second law of motion we have

For the 9 kg mass, T - mg = ma and for the 12 kg mass we have T - Mg  = -Ma

Here we took the upward acceleration as positive a of the 9 kg mass and the downward acceleration of the 12 kg mass as -a

Solving for T for the 9 kg mass we have

T = mg + ma

Substituting  the value of T in to the 12 kg mass equation, we have

mg + ma - Mg = -Ma or  a = (\frac{M-m}{M+m} )g therefore the acceleration is

1.401 m/s²

and the tension is T = mg + ma = 9×(9.81+1.401) = 100.902 N

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

"a musical tone sounded on a piano has a frequency of 261.6 hz and a wavelength of 1.31 m. what is the speed of the sound wave
Andreyy89
To solve this question, we use the wave equation which is:
C=f*λ
where:
C is the speed;
f is the frequency;
λ is the wavelength
So in this case, plugging in our values in the problem. This will give us:
C = 261.6Hz × 1.31m
= 342.696 m/s is the answer.

2) Why do you think fossil fueled cars are still out numbering alternative and replacement fueled cars even though fossil fuels
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Fossil-fueled cars are still outnumbering the alternative and replacement-fueled cars because they are generally cost-effective and are efficient.

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels</em> are non-renewable energy that cannot be replenished. Although many people know how harmful using them can be to the environment, still, people continue to buy cars that are powered by it. This is because, <em>using fossil-fueled cars can help you save money</em> compared to using<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em><em> Its engines are also more powerful,</em> which means they can arrive at their destination in just a few minutes. <u>This makes it efficient.</u> The cost of maintaining a fossil-fueled car is less expensive compared to<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em> People are naturally keen when it comes to budgeting, thus, many people still buy cars powered by fossil fuels.

How does paving parking lots and roads with concrete or asphalt affect surface water and groundwater?
lidiya [134]
Parking lots with roads and concrete reduce infiltration. Infiltration is the process by which water penetrates the soil. Reducing the amount of water that enters the soil can eventually impact groundwater levels in some areas by decreasing it over time. Paved roads lead to increased surface runoff which increases the possibility of flooding in periods of heavy rainfall. This is known as urban flooding.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!<br><br> Joules could be used to measure
lyudmila [28]

All of the above, work is a measurement of energy transfer, in Joules.

Potential energy = Joules

Kinetic energy = Joules

The key thing here is that anything having to do with just energy or energy transfer is measured in joules.
